We managed to prevail, and even grow, thanks to numerous creators and supporters who believed in and stuck it out with us in the past three years,\u201d said Jason Koh, founder and producer of Doujin Market. \u201cWe are excited to once again bring everyone together in the spirit of \u2018doujin\u2019, to create, and to geek out together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partnering with Doujin Market in this endeavour are <strong>Avernative Production<\/strong> and their featured brands &#8211; Avermedia, Xencelabs and XP-Pen. They will be presenting <strong>VD:0<\/strong>, Singapore\u2019s first homegrown virtual creator team, and seminars to help aspiring virtual creators take their first step.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVirtual creators have taken the world by storm,\u201d said Mr. Alvin Ho, Founder of Avernative Production,&nbsp; \u201cand we are incredibly proud to showcase our home-grown creators at an event that has always placed them at the forefront.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also co-presenting Doujin Market this year is <strong>Merryweather Media<\/strong>, who will be exhibiting in Singapore for the first time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best known for their web based media, including webcomics and Vtuber content, visitors can look forward to meeting <strong>Lucius Merryweather<\/strong>, the Vtuber persona of the studio\u2019s founder, as well as other key members of his production team. Visitors can also pick up convention-exclusive merchandise and print compilations of popular Merryweather Media comics at their booth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe started as part of an ad-hoc circle of creators, just like many others at Doujin Market. It\u2019s been a long journey, but we\u2019ve persevered until now,\u201d said Ho Wei Rong, Regional Director of Merryweather Media. \u201cWe want to inspire other creators out there that were just like us when we started out, and interact with newer members of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increasing popularity of virtual content means that fans from all around the world can support creators that they care about. In order to better serve the needs of artists both regional and international, Doujima has partnered with Gank to provide a robust e-payment solution to all exhibitors at the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creators from select countries will be able to have their earnings transferred directly to their bank accounts, as well as accept multiple payment options such as PayNow without needing a Singapore bank account. Gank will also be running a currency top-up campaign during the show to encourage visitors to support creators more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The convention takes place on 6-7 May at Suntec Singapore Convention &amp; Exhibition Centre, Hall 403 &amp; 404.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission to Doujin Market is ticketed, and chargeable at $10 for a Day Pass (Saturday or Sunday), or $18 for a Weekend Pass (both days).\u00a0Tickets are available on Eventbrite at <a href=\"https:\/\/doujima2023.eventbrite.sg\">https:\/\/doujima2023.eventbrite.sg<\/a>.
